  • Nooo!

    My CD-ROM drive is broken...I have to send my computer to the manufacturer to get it fixed. And if I don't, I can't play Civ III! Why me?

      Aren't you going to get a new CD-Rom drive if the old one cannot be fixed?

        I have a worse problem myself. My notebook monitor can only display a resolution of 800x600.

          I suppose I would have to if they couldn't fix it or if it weren't covered by the warranty. But I'm strapped for cash (only have enough saved up to buy Civ3) and if I can get it fixed for free (warranty), I'd gladly do it. But that means no computer for a while, so no Civ2, no Apolyton, no life.

          I REALLY hope they can get it fixed in a month so I can play Civ3 right after it comes out.

              Consider yourself lucky. My problem is physical, not of software origin. I put in a CD that I didn't know was cracked and a piece was just hanging off it, hitting the various components inside, and now it won't read any CDs.

              At least I have Civ2 fully installed so I can play it before I have to ship off my computer.

                Lucky you. I still hope the game will run on 800x600 screens. Luckily the screenshots seem to have this resolution, so I am cautiously optimistic.

                Yeah, tell me about CD-Rom problems. Once, my CD-Rom drive wasn't working, but I only had the drivers/operating system on a CD, so I couldn't reinstall it.

                  Hey, java4me, we prevailed over the more civs issue! We will be able to have 16 civs in one game.

                  BTW: I didn't have access to the internet over the summer.

                      Same here...

                      I am glad Firaxis does let itself be influenced by good and widely supported ideas.

                        I don't know about all of you guys but I would buy a whole new computer just to play Civ 3. If I had to rob a bank I would!

                        Thankfully I got a new computer for Xmas.

                        And I'm getting Civ 3 for my birthday. I'm lucky.

                        Wait, wait, I would give an arm for Civ 3!

                        And arm and a leg!

                        Everything but by brain (to make decisions), eyes (to see my decisions), and one hand to move the mouse (to do what my braind decides)

                            Lorizael, from the Civ 3 preview video, the sound is also very good, so youll be wanting to keep your ears
                            I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
